The visitors are having the lion's share of the opening exchanges as Vlad Chiriches found out when he clased with Edin Dzeko. City deservedly took the lead in the 17th minute when Sergio Aguero received the ball, then took a step into the area, drew Lloris off his line, and dinked a gorgeous finish across the keeper and into the bottom left

Ten minutes before half-time Christian Eriksen whips in a free-kick towards the far post and Michael Dawson volleys the ball into the net. Spurs think they have equalised until they spot that the linesman has raised his flag for offside. It's a very close decision and Spurs are no doubt feeling aggrieved

There's more controversy at the start of the second half when Edin Dzeko is fouled by Danny Rose inside the area. Fernandino powered down the middle of the park, and slipped the ball forward for Dzeko, who crumbled pitifully over the outstretched leg of Rose, the full back poking the ball out for a corner. The referee wasn't going to give the penalty, but the linesman insists, and as a result he's got no option but to send Rose off

Just two minuts later it's 3-0 to City. Navas, on the right-hand edge of the area, slips a ball forward to Zabaleta on the overlap. He rolls a low cross inside to Silva, who drops a shoulder and hammers a shot towards the Spurs goal. Lloris turns the shot onto the left-hand post, stunningly so, but it rebounds to Dzeko, who flips a sidefooter into the right-hand side of the net

It's no wonder Spurs's keeper Hugo Lloris looks dejected, he's just shipped in five goals. Spurs boss Tim Sherwood was probably just as dejected after Spur's first Premier League defeat under his reign. Final score: Tottenham 1-5 Manchester City
